Balls. Obama grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii. The Zimmerman shooting is virtually unique. There are a lot of gun victim dead black teenagers but they were killed by other blacks. Obama and his racist friend Sharpton evidently don’t give a damn about these kids since their attention is never focused on them, only guilt-tripping Whitey.

The statistics: Blacks commit homicide at ten times the rate of white and Hispanic males combined. White and Hispanic victims of black homicides are three times those of black victims of white and Hispanic homicides combined. Our first black president far from being “post-racial” as he promised is just part of the civil rights lynch mob with whitey as the target.

Among other fallacies in the above annotation can be found here — “Obama and his racist friend Sharpton evidently don’t give a damn about these kids since their attention is never focused on them”. The President has expressed his feelings and concern about this problem numerous times, including here.

He could make some grand but hollow promise… his statement was real in that he DIDN’T promise to fix racism or violence overnight. If you were president, could you? Also, is Hawaii not part of America…?

If he and the civil rights race hustlers and his attorney general addressed the issues of gang violence, missing fathers, lack of police in inner city communities with half the intensity with which they have attempted to gin up a lynch mob against Zimmerman I’d say he attempted to do something. I don’t get your Hawaii reference but do you really think that Obama approached by Zimmerman as a teenager would have jumped him and smashed his nose? I guess I’m verified on this because I have been writing about politics for 50 years.

Horowitz, if you had stopped and said clearly race issues and relations in America are not a priority for Obama, I would have agreed because it’s not, this is the first address in almost 5 years in which he has acknowledged the fact that race matters in the USA. But then you turned this into some racist tirade about how the black president is coming down to “whitey”’s door with a civil rights lynch mob. Really? Really? Are you reading those words man? I mean I understand that we are all entitled to opinions but I would ask as a member of this community that you ONLY place verified annotations like this up if you are willing to provide hyperlinks to data and evidence that can at least let people understand your viewpoint even if we don’t agree with it, at all. The point of crowdsourcing knowledge is we use facts and well-supported postulations not ad hominem attacks and evidence devoid opinons. I’m sure you wouldn’t like it if we ranted on your works, slinging mud and saying horrible things like you “that Horowitz and his morally defunct like-minded Leninist friends do nothing but jump ship to ship for a chance at power” or “public propagandists at work”. Now I’m not saying you are those things, but I could just as easily slant you without facts and arguments much like you slanted Obama and god knows who else.
Please stop man, your opinion would be a valuable one if you simply provided evidence and came to reasonable conclusions from the evidence as opposed to rants from ideology and prejudice.

Noam Chomsky is a pathological hater of his own country, which is why Chavez likes him. In Chomsky’s view America is worse than Hitler Germany, the quintessence of worldly evil. Chomsky’s entire intellectual output is designed to prove this, although his work is so manipulative and dishonest and has been exposed so many times that only the credulous, the uninformed (Hollywood celebrities would seem to fit both categories) and those already disposed to despise America could find anything persuasive in what he has written.

In this passage Robert Kennedy is attempting to dissuade blacks from hating whites by pointing out that a white man also killed his father who was white. But this is an inadequate response, since it only adds to the bad image of whites, as though they were equal opportunity killers. If Kennedy wants to defend white people from the prejudice that all whites are racists, he should point out the overwhelming support that Martin Luther King had from the vast majority of whites, and that individual blacks also kill white people, yet no one should blame all black people for their crimes.

All quests for an earthly redemption, whether religious or secular, seek to purify the world. They are born of an inability to accept the fallen state of the human condition, the normal corruption of human affairs, and an urgency to “repair the world.” All such quests are totalitarian in that they seek to control every aspect of human behavior to produce a moral and harmonious world.

It’s interesting how the human story keeps returning to Genesis — and this whether you are a believer or not. “You shall be as gods” was the serpent’s seduction of Adam and Eve, and it has remained the destructive ambition of radicals and progressives ever since.

It is a moral imperative to connect our own lives to others, to seek an understanding — at least an intellectual understanding if not a felt or sympathetic one — of even our most bizarre adversaries. And so I felt it important to understand at least to my own satisfaction the human well-springs of the beliefs of the fanatical assassins of 9/11.“Love death” at first appears incomprehensible. But reflecting on it one soon realized that it is an aspect of all noble aspirations, which are so characterized because they represent desires that are larger than self. To love death is the epitome of the self-less act. Or at first it seems so. It is actually the epitome of a self-aggrandizing narcissism which is characteristic of all revolutionaries and martyrs.

It is a sort of cliche of the observing class that Jews as social outsiders have functioned as the critics of social order — Freud and Marx come immediately to mind, but the list is very long. On the other hand every sentient being sees themselves in this way. To be human is to be an outsider. We are part of the natural world, born to die like everything else, but unlike all other natural beings we are conscious of this fact — that one day we will be leaving, and that nothing is permanent. This is the truest alienation.

This is probably one of the hardest — if also the most eye-opening — consequences of age. The deja vu all over again syndrome. It is a challenge keeping one’s interest going after you reach a certain point in your journey. I seem to have managed it for myself but not with out some struggle.
